CRAFT WINEMAKING
Winemaking is a blend of science and art; a craft that captures the soil, site, and season. From soil to grape to glass, growing grapes and making wine has always been at the heart of the Angove DNA with the belief that great wines begin in the vineyard, are crafted and polished in the winery, and served with pride and conviction.
Angove’s 100-year-old winery benefits from both traditional and modern winemaking equipment and techniques. Specifically, the modern small batch micro winery handles our premium McLaren Vale and organic wines. These wines are crafted using traditional hand plunging for our smaller stainless steel open fermenters, while our historic 8 tonne concrete open fermenters are gently pumped over. These methods guarantee extraction of vibrant colour and pristine varietal flavours. Maturation in the temperature controlled barrel hall ensures our wines also maintain freshness and vibrancy throughout the aging process
